A magical New Moon in Gemini brings endless ideas and fresh possibilities
Jesus was a Carpenter
We’ll keep this short and sweet - it’s Sabrina Carpenter’s world, and we’re all just singing that's that me espresso in it. Between Please, Please, Please and Espresso, Sabrina Carpenter has taken the pop world by storm, holding summer playlists in a chokehold. We can’t relate to desperation, but we can relate to cinematic Bennifer meets Quentin Tarantino-style music videos featuring short-king actor hottie Barry Keoghan (who happens to be dating Sabrina irl, because of course he is). Did you know she’s got a collaboration with Van Leeuwen Ice Cream on the way? It’s espresso-flavored, naturally.
✨ Cosmic alert: Sabrina is a Taurus Sun with Mercury (communication and perspective) in the sign of the Bull as well. Sabrina would obviously have a hit song about a beverage - have you ever met a Taurus who wasn’t thinking about consumption?
Quiet on Set
Months after the release of the explosive docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, Ariana Grande finally got candid about her time as a Nickelodeon child star during her appearance on Penn Badgley’s podcast Podcrushed this week. She’s calling for a safer environment with therapists and that “parents should be allowed to be wherever they want to be.” Taking bets on whether she's read former Sam and Cat costar Jennette McCurdy’s bestselling memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died.
✨ Cosmic alert: This past week featured intense celestial activity, including challenging aspects between Mars (conflict) - Pluto (shadow work) & Mercury (perspective) - Saturn (reality check). It makes sense that Ariana (Cancer Sun, Capricorn Rising, and Libra Moon) would share that she’s reprocessing her relationship to her experience as a child actor this week amid heavy planetary action.
Femininomenon
A star is born, and she’s bringing the pink fits and cowboy hat with her. If you don’t know who Chappell Roan is, well…you will soon. After an *iconic* Gov Ball performance where Roan emerged from a giant apple bong dressed as the Statue of Liberty, she takes her set to Bonnaroo this weekend - flustering festival organizers trying to keep up with her meteoric rise. Consider us seated for the rise of this Midwestern princess (if tickets aren’t already sold out eek!).
✨ Cosmic Alert: Chappell Roan is a Pisces Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Libra Rising. A poet with the soul of a sage wearing the mask of an artist - a true pop princess who’s got the magic touch. Chappell released her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwestern Princess back in mid-September 2023 (around the New Moon in Virgo), although it's just starting to see some major traction now - it reentered the Billboard 200 this past week! All eyes are on March 2025’s Full Moon in Virgo for her supernova moment.
